One of many reasons why I won’t be stuck on a ship with people from all over the world that don’t have the cleanest habits, both kids and adults sneezing all over, food left out, etc. No thanks, too much activity for me also, I like it quiet and relaxing.

Don't eat from buffets. Stay out of public use hot tubs and pools, use your own shopping basket for grocery shopping, use your chip card and don't touch the pin-pads. Grow your own produce as much as possible. Bake your own as much as possible. Brew your own as much as possible.

Keep your dogs and cats as your contact circle, and avoid most people. They cause trouble. Eat your own pound of dirt, not someone else's.

Well, at least it didn’t run into an iceberg or anything..........

Not everyone was sick, only 7%. Why the difference?

I heard Cunard has no less than 7 ships with norovirus outbreaks......AND the Queen Mary II has a norovirus outbreak.

My only cruise experience was on a small ship with less than 85 passengers going up the southeast coast on the inland waterway. It was a delightful experience. I can’t imagine taking a cruise with thousands of other passengers. I vacation to get away and find peace not sign on to a crowded floating city.

Its NOT WASHING YOUR HANDS AFTER YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM AND BEFORE YOU EAT !

You could pay me to be on one of those top-heavy, Petri dish, ghetto boats.

Does norovirus only infest cruise ships? You almost never hear about it cropping up anywhere else...

[Bullish]

Bad oysters?

So, what it’s a risk you take on these trips. I did not read it all, but I suspect no one died and many thousands have improved their self-immunity.
